Horse Racing Data & Intelligence API | Australian Racehorse Rankings

Australian horse racing data API for AI agents, automations and software. Get derived racehorse intelligence, current Australian racehorse rankings, horse identity resolution and material change signals through Apify.

Price: US$0.02 per successful result via Apify Pay-Per-Event.
No separate Horse Truth API key is required for the Apify route.

Use this Actor when you need machine-readable Australian racehorse intelligence without maintaining a separate Horse Truth account, billing integration or API-key workflow.

Horse racing data API operations

Horse Truth is not a raw-data scraper. It provides derived Australian horse-racing intelligence from Horse Truth's existing data and research systems.

• Horse intelligence — derived intelligence for one named horse.
• Horse changes — material Horse Truth change events for one named horse.
• Resolve horse identity — resolve a horse query against Horse Truth identities.
• Horse rankings — current derived Horse Truth rankings with a bounded result limit.

Supported operation values:

horse_intelligence, horse_changes, resolve_horse, horse_rankings, horse_snapshot, horse_explanation, horse_compare, horse_provenance.

Quick start

Horse intelligence

{
  "operation": "horse_intelligence",
  "horse": "Chance With Wolves"
}

Horse rankings

{
  "operation": "horse_rankings",
  "limit": 25
}

Successful results are written to the default Apify dataset.

Pricing

Each successful delivered result is US$0.02 through Apify Pay-Per-Event.

Horse Truth does not intentionally emit the paid Apify event until a successful derived result is available for delivery. Apify remains the marketplace billing authority for Actor runs.

Built for AI agents and automation

Horse Truth is designed for machine-to-machine workflows including:

• AI agents that need Australian horse racing intelligence.
• Automated research and monitoring workflows.
• Software products that need structured racehorse intelligence.
• Agentic workflows that prefer Apify metering and billing.
• Data workflows that need current Horse Truth rankings or change signals.

The Apify route avoids the direct Horse Truth checkout and key-claim flow. Apify handles marketplace discovery, run execution, metering, billing and payout accounting.

What the result contains

A successful horse-intelligence request can include:

• Canonical Horse Truth identity.
• Current derived Horse Truth state.
• Class index.
• Horse type.
• Condition.
• Best-distance estimate.
• Reliability summary.
• Recent material change events.
• Marketplace billing metadata.

Representative result shape:

{
  "status": "PASS",
  "data": {
    "horse": "Chance With Wolves",
    "identity": {
      "canonical_name": "Chance With Wolves"
    },
    "current_derived_state": {
      "class_index": 18,
      "condition": "Declining",
      "best_distance": 1600
    },
    "marketplace_edition": "FAST_DERIVED_MARKETPLACE_V2"
  },
  "marketplace": {
    "billing_authority": "APIFY_PAY_PER_EVENT",
    "charged_event": "horse-intelligence",
    "charged_count": 1,
    "production_authority": 0
  }
}

The example is intentionally shortened. Returned values depend on Horse Truth's current derived state for the requested horse.

Why use this Actor

• Australian horse racing intelligence API delivered as an Apify Actor.
• US$0.02 per successful result through Pay-Per-Event.
• No separate Horse Truth API key for the Apify route.
• Structured JSON input and dataset output.
• Eight focused intelligence operations, including compact snapshots, explanations, comparisons, and provenance receipts.
• Derived outputs only; raw provider records are not exposed.
• Suitable for AI agents, automation workflows and software integrations.

Automation and API use

Run the Actor from Apify Console, Apify API, CLI, tasks, MCP/agent-compatible tooling, or any workflow that can invoke Apify Actors.

Horse Truth also exposes direct machine discovery and MCP surfaces at https://horsetruth.com.au. The Apify route is intentionally separate so Apify can provide marketplace distribution, metering, billing and payout accounting.

Evidence and authority boundary

Horse Truth provides derived racehorse intelligence. Commercial and marketplace code has production authority 0 over Race Day scientific selection. Raw provider records are not exposed through this Actor.

Reliability

The Actor fails closed if its Horse Truth marketplace authentication is unavailable. A paid event is intended to be emitted only after a successful derived result is available for delivery.
